Illinois Community Agroforester Kaitie Adams and Technical Service Provider Sven Pihl explain the five most common forms of agroforestry: Alley Cropping, Windbreaks, Silvopasture, Riparian Buffers, and Forest Farming.

Local residents and supporters in Southwest Wisconsin gathered at our new demonstration farm in Spring Green where we are setting up research trials for Hazelnuts and Chestnut trees.

Agroforestry installations take a lot of planning and design before trees are planted. Partners explain the design for the farm and the decisions that went into selecting and planting trees on the landscape at a Savanna Institute Demonstration Farm in Oregon, Illinois.

Devon Brock-Montgomery, who leads one of our Water Quality Programs, explains the research we are conducting into the impacts of agroforestry on the watershed adjacent to the Wisconsin Riverway and Spring Green Campus Demonstration Farms.

More than 100 people gathered at our Spring Green Campus in September 2022 to meet partners, hear Nutshell presentations, tour the farm, and sample agroforestry appetizers prepared by deep-roots food advocate Odessa Piper.

Savanna Institute Executive Director Keefe Keeley talks with supporters who helped welcome the organization into the Spring Green, Wisconsin community, where we are establishing a network of demonstration farms that make up our new campus. Each farm is designed to demonstrate agroforestry in different contexts and at different scales.

The community asks questions about strategies for detering deer and rodents, managing invasive species, and harvesting equipment used at the North Farm at our Spring Green Campus in Southwestern Wisconsin.
